So you want to be a model? First step is to have high quality photos for your portfolio. A modeling portfolio is an essential tool for a model to gain professional work. It's a collection of professionally shot images that is your visual modeling tool to use to show off your skills in front of a camera. Showing a modeling agency snap shots, might not show your true capabilities. You will need professional photos so that agencies can market you and you can market yourself for freelance jobs. It is almost impossible to be put forward for casting without a professional portfolio. Show agents and casting directors that you have confidence and experience in front of a camera. Professional photographers can bring out your best. They know how to find your best angle, the best you. Check out our modeling photo shoot with 3 awesome models Shayla, Liz & Nate! Great job!
